6 Signs You've Definitely Got the Job

6 Signs You've Definitely Got the Job 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Sitting through a job interview is a stressful ordeal. Tensions run high and you begin to think of all the things that could go wrong. The key to acing your job interview is simple – be prepared for anything and most important of all, be confident and believe in yourself. If you have any doubts or queries about what steps to take next, seek out our campus recruitment assistance and let us help you make an informed decision about your career prospects. Once you’ve made the call and are ready to face the job interview, here are some signs you can look out for, to know you’ve definitely made the cut:

1. A lot of smiles: If your interviewer is smiling a lot while making conversation, chances are he thinks you’re the right fit for the job. Try to keep the interviewer engaged in conversation and make sure it’s not a one-sided effort alone.
2. Personal questions: If the interviewer asks a lot of questions about your personal interests, hobbies and your family, rather than just what you have mentioned in your resume, you can be at ease as he probably thinks of you as a good fit for the company. We suggest you too try to make conversation that is not solely about the job.
3. Insights into the company: If you are being told about your job role in detail rather than just a few words, you can be sure that you have landed the job. It is unlikely that someone would waste any more time than necessary to explain your role to you. Take this as a good sign and start prepping for your new job. Our Skills Assessment Test will provide the recruiter with a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, so prepare accordingly.
4. References: If you are being asked for references from your teachers and professors, you are at least in the running to be hired by the company. So, make sure you know exactly who you’d like to have as your references.
5. Office tour: After the interview, if your potential boss decides to give a tour of the workplace, he probably sees you as a person sitting at one of those office desks in the future. So enjoy the tour and get ready to be hired.
6. Duration: They say that within 10 minutes of an interview, the recruiter has already made up his mind about whether or not you are fit enough to be hired. So, if your interview runs for more time than that, chances are that you are a potential hire for the company, especially if the exchange of dialogue goes beyond just work.

7 great challenges freshers face in corporate world

7 great challenges freshers face in corporate world 

Sarvesh cautiously smoothens his tie, checks on the polish of his shoes and looks at his clean shaven frame in the rear mirror of his bike.
Looks clean…..
Heading towards the pointer marking reception, he looks at in awe over the plush interiors and a suave front office executive at the reception desk.
Juggling a complex communications system with multitude of red and green buttons she asks, Yes Sir, May I help you?
Smartly Sarvesh hands over the offer letter issued to him by the company and in deep throated voice says “I have come to join after my campus recruitment drive, this is my offer letter”.
“Welcome aboard” said the receptionist and quickly directed him to the conference Room.
Sarvesh found himself surrounded by 10 more newly offered candidates.
Entry level hiring was a thorough process with the Organisation
Sitting and talking to them before the company senior executives walked in gave him a very different perspective, each one had done some spade work and had information on MD, staff, employees, salary brackets, appraisal process and rigorous inductions and orientations.
Though lucky to have done well in online assessments platforms, Group discussions and Formal interview and receiving a dream offer especially as a Fresher, over the period Sarvesh spent in the Company he realized he has long way to go!
Though immense opportunities or jobs for Freshers exist, some constraints he felt in transition from Campus to Corporate were :

• Bubble burst – From cushioned and secure world all of a sudden jolted to a reality of numbers, tasks, targets processes and protocol.
• Identity crisis can be quite predominant especially over role and position and actual delivery, one needs to quickly learn and take reins.
• Networking takes over entirely new dimensions. Seeking out and reaching out to unknown co-workers/colleagues is not that easy, skipping a meeting or backing out of conversation being unthinkable, giving opinions on issues being discussed considered as naïve or rude. Unsure about whether leaving office at/after office hours requires permission.
• Gap of what has been taught versus what actually one can learn from live projects / situations is real time experience. From being skilled to being proficient and experienced was a BIG LEAP which Sarvesh hopes to cover well!
• What goes well in College Canteen can land you in trouble. Gossip! Remarks! Criticism! Be wary of what you say… Talent is not the only thing, your behavior, attitude and soft skills speak louder than the PPT’s made. Even in arguments a strong control over language is required. Welcome to the world of corporate etiquettes.
• Succumb to Impress with knowledge, long hours, overtime becomes an unsaid thumb rule which takes its toll and leading to burnout long before you start blooming.
1. Teamwork is tricky! Group projects in colleges are no way closer to what teamwork in workplace is. Contributing one’s bit completely however not being too bossy or enforcing others to conform. Quite a tightrope walk!
2.  
• However, Challenges make life worth living. In spite of the challenges that freshers face in the corporate world, there are always new things to learn and new areas to explore. It is surely an enriching experience and worth every step in making you become a better person.
• Look at these challenges as opportunities and you may end up climbing the corporate ladder at a marvelous speed, was what Sarvesh’s concluding remarks were to his juniors in pre-placement talk in his college exactly a year later!

5 Smart Steps to Overcome Hiring Challenges

In 2018, the biggest problem that the corporate industry faces is the lack of qualified employees. There are thousands of talented youth that we come across every day. We understand the challenges that a hiring manager faces while selecting the best candidates. Employee recruitment is the most stressful job as you will constantly be judged on your selection. Below are a few basic points that should be kept in mind during the hiring process to ensure that it goes smoothly.

Here are 5 Smart Steps to Overcome Hiring Challenges:

1. Be clear in your job description: Job descriptions vary from organization to organization, especially in jobs for freshers. To make sure you are getting the right candidates, it is necessary to be clear in the job description about the experience and skill set required.
2. Being professional: Lack of awareness regarding the workplace and roles for freshers creates difficulties as they find problems in adapting to things during the work process. Through HireMee’s emphasis on quality and the assessment test, candidates get to know their weak and strong areas. This helps them to achieve success in their career.
3. Act rapidly to secure top talent: There is a huge demand for talented candidates to fill in specific roles and meet different responsibilities. Talented candidates are always snapped up quickly. If you don’t want to lose a great opportunity, then act rapidly to secure top talent immediately. Most of the time a candidate will no longer be available as some other organization would have just swooped them up. Respond to a CV in a speedy way by using a pre-assessed candidate database or video resumes when selecting your candidates.
4. Try an internship or contract interview: If you have a job role that has been open for a while because you haven't found the ideal candidate, consider different methods of resourcing to help your team in the meanwhile. Contract jobs are getting popular day by day, and with the help of pre-assessed profiles you can select the right candidates quickly. You never know, you may even end up hiring the contract candidate as a permanent employee.
5. Research salary guidelines: If you are not getting the standard of candidates which you are hoping for, even after conducting a personality test and several rounds of interviews, then you may find that the pay you are offering is too low. Do some research on the Internet or talk with your enrollment specialist to ensure that the salary you’re offering to the candidates is the industry standard.
   Let us know if you are facing issues while hiring or unable to find the correct candidate. Hiremee acts as a bridge between companies and candidates to facilitate better and faster placements for all.

7 Tips to Improve Campus Placement

7 Tips to Improve Campus Placement

Did you know that there are more than 39,000+ colleges, 11,000+ institutions, and 799 universities in India today? To say that this is a highly competitive industry would be an understatement. What do parents and students look for when making the decision that would likely impact the rest of their lives, not to mention one that would involve a substantial financial commitment?

While there are many parameters that go into deciding which college or institute to apply for, the one that is most attractive to potential students and parents are the campus placement records. With thousands of students graduating from various courses every year, getting good jobs for freshersremains the #1 worry in the minds of parents and students.

There is no doubt that getting better campus placements leads to better brand value and higher admissions. So what can you do to better your college placement records?

Here are 7 tips to improve campus placement:

1. Don’t be like the student who studies for exams at the last minute! Even though campus placements take place at the end of the academic year, don’t let the year go by without doing some serious planning much earlier. Reach out to potential recruiters and corporates, both within your city/state and outside of it. The more networking you do, the more the benefit to your students!
2. Tap into your alumni database and reach out to them. Ask to arrange a meeting or call with the HR recruitment team from their company. Alumni are the best brand ambassadors for your college so make sure you rope them in as early as possible.
3. Campus placement support should go beyond just offering job opportunities. The corporate world today is looking at more than just good marks.Although 50 lakh students graduate every year, only a small percentage of that are employable directly out of college. Companies have to invest heavily in training them in soft skills since they are looking for excellent communication skills, confidence, and leadership qualities. Groom your students in these vital qualities by organizing soft skills workshops and other interactive events all through the year. By the time campus placements roll around, your students will be a prize draw for the top companies!
4. One of the best ways to introduce your college to the corporate world is by organizing regular field trips or visits to their manufacturing plants or factories. This way, the companies are more aware of your college.
5. Today, most companies look into reports from online assessment solutions that offer recruiters in-depth and comprehensive evaluations of a student’s strengths and weaknesses across important categories. HireMee is one such portal that is a trendsetter because of its unique 7-digit HireMee score that is validated by the best in the industry and academia, its video profile feature for students to showcase their communication skills, and its #goodkarma initiative, offered completely free of charge as part of its CSR commitment.
6. Tie up with companies to have regular guest lectures and visits to the campus. This will help develop a close relationship that will lead to potential placement opportunities.
7. Sign up for skill assessment tests which will help your students understand their strengths and weaknesses and prepare better for the final campus interviews and tests.

Implementing a few, or all, of the 7 steps outlined above will undoubtedly lead to higher campus placements for your institution. However, there is one shortcut that you can take that will give you the benefit of all of the 7 steps above and that is HireMee!

By registering your college for HireMee’s online assessment test, your students will get a headstart over others since their HireMee scores and video profiles are accessible to recruiters right on their mobile and laptop screens!

So far, we have presented 45,000+ job opportunities to students from colleges like yours, assessed 1000+ colleges, with 4000+ offer letters presented. Would you like to add your students to the 3,00,000 graduates who have already been assessed and cut short their waiting time for getting a job straight out of college? If yes, all you have to do is register here and get started!

7 Tips to land your dream job!

7 Tips to land your dream job!

Landing your dream job requires showcasing your skills, experience, and personality in the most positive light. When you want to get the right job, you need to put together a strong CV and make a great first impression.

Here are some basic tips that you need to focus on before landing your dream job. We’ve put together this guideline to support you in your job search.

• 1. Identify your skill:

  Over 33% of hiring managers say that they make their mind about a candidate within 90 seconds of an interview. This makes your interview preparation more important. Figure out what you truly want and understand that there might be various approaches to take. Many people begin their job search by looking at the job titles that fit into their career goals. Before you step into an interview, know your objectives and how you picture yourself in that job. It is important to know what you want in your life to achieve your life goals.

• 2. Research work:

  This is important work for many reasons. You need to be updated with the company’s latest developments. A lack of knowledge of the company is a common mistake made by job seekers. Network with people who are in the same industry and utilize your contacts as well as social media channels. You need to identify which organization you want to work for that will suit your capabilities. Social media plays an important role to meet people and to know more about the company. On the company website, job vacancies are posted. You can also set up job alerts so that you automatically receive an email of any new vacancies posted.

• 3. Customize your CV:

  Once you have completed your research, then customize your CV and create a video resume which you can upload to match each position you apply to. For example, using the HireMee app (android /app store), candidates can upload video profiles that help them to showcase their communication, knowledge, and personality.
  Even if you're searching for jobs that are related to the same industry itself, it's still vital to modify your CV so that it matches the exact job that you apply to. By doing this, you give yourself a competitive edge. Make sure you also update your online professional profile on a regular basis.

• 4. Prepare for interviews:

  Research about the company before going for an interview. Practice online assessments and try to answer common and tough interview questions beforehand. Be clear that whatever preparation you do for interview can be the key to your dream job.

• 5. Stay positive and be happy:

  Be confident in your own abilities, but be humble when you approach or address other people during your interview process. Maintain eye contact during the interview process as 67% of hiring managers say that candidates get eliminated due to the failure to maintain eye contact. The willingness to learn and work hard will be enough to ensure that you get a head start over others.

• 6. Increase your social media presence:

  In the era of social media, it is easy to do personal brand building. Platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn are used by 90% of companies to recruit online. Once you are on social media, you also get to know about the current trends and by networking with professional people you can upgrade your skills which also helps to land your dream job.

• 7. Send a thank you note and follow up

  Show your appreciation towards the hiring manager who took so much time and effort to interview you. Thanking the interviewer by email is a good method to confirm your name stays on their mind and to reinforce your strongest selling points. It will also display your commitment and capability. If you don’t hear back within 7 business days after your interview process then give them a reminder call or email them.
  The HireMee assessment test helps students to showcase their talents and also helps them to know their weak and strong areas. Through skill assessment and campus recruitment assistance, you can clear all your queries and doubts which will help to get your dream job.
  Whether you’re looking for freshers jobs in Bangalore, Chennai, Cochin, Hyderabad, or any other city in India, HireMee helps you get noticed. Great companies are always searching for the candidates who are open to learn and show their potential. This year make your dream come true by getting the perfect job.
